It’s just any time there’s that much excitement, it must be no good, you know?

I interpreted “it” in the post title as referring to Linux. Firefox is “just a browser,” but Linux is not.

Damn okay well if the hackers are at that level I guess you’re just screwed.

Let’s see the hackers figure that one out!

It’s just less visible/explicit. It’s still bad press when it gets noticed and called out like in this thread, it’s just sneakier.

Neat! Sorry about your ban on ml. That comic was like… Super tame and wholesome, lol.

Security implications?

People working with these technologies have known this for quite awhile. It’s nice of Apple’s researchers to formalize it, but nobody is really surprised-- Least of all the companies funnelling traincars of money into the LLM furnace.

What if I’m already pretty good at Python and C? :)

How do you learn? I have some ESP32s that I’ve messed around a little bit with, and done some neat stuff…But I don’t have an electronics background at all and I often have trouble even figuring out how to power the damn things safely.

I feel like you just shout things into the void and people give you points for agreeing with you.

Lol at first I thought this was a direct criticism of the person you were replying to.

Well, have a nap

THEN FIRE ZE SAMSUNG & LG CEOS!

That looks really cool. It will help me live out my fantasy of having a handful of ants in my pocket that I can deploy at any moment.

That’s super interesting. How do you get started at something like that? Or where would a newcomer start to learn more about it?

Thanks… Yeah that makes sense. I can understand that sometimes the trade-off would make dumping fuel the right choice… I just wonder if the environmental impact factor in.

So does “dump fuel” literally mean “sprinkle a large volume of jet fuel over a large swathe of countryside?” Does it become diffuse enough that the environmental impact is negligible, or do we get a big splash that kills everything in an AoE?

Like… I’m surprised the fuel cost is the focus here, and not the environmental impact of releasing jet fuel just… into the air I guess? But maybe it doesn’t work the way I’m picturing.

Neither the man nor the airline was publicly named, nor was it specified exactly what he did to earn such a hefty penalty.

Why the hell not? I feel like it’s weird for this information to not be public in a case like this-- In this same article, there are three examples of other incidents where the details are known.

Phrases like the passenger “was disruptive,” and “It’s far simpler to obey the directions of airline staff than cause unnecessary issues, which can end up hitting you in the hip pocket” seem weirdly euphemistic to me.

10/10 analogy 👌

Can we go on land yet?
